Would Brook have beaten Spence if not for the headbutt that broke Brooks eye?

Spence was always in control. just slowly grinding Brook down and breaking his soul.

1st off I never understood this Brook was up thing as if he clearly was winning the 1st 6 rounds.

2nd I've been looking for the round by round punch stats since that day & haven't been able to find them. Because Errol was landing more & better punches & it was clear to me not only throughout the fight but the 1st half. I had Spence up. It was competitive but I never understood why people act as if Brook ran away with the 1st half of the fight.

3rd I have never until this day heard that what caused Brook's eye to swell was a headbutt.

I believe, I along with most believe it was a punch & I'm not about to believe a random gif from the fight which doesn't even display the time of the round in the fight. & finally most importantly this thread sounds like 1 big excuse to me.

1. Most had Brook winning the first half of the fight. - FACT
2. Punch stats don't mean ****. It's just a guy pushing a button when he thinks a punch lands. Most of the time they are widely inaccurate.
3. I told you in the opening post it happened in the 8th. Go watch and you'll see. It was a clear headbutt and almost certainly that caused the damage.

Yes...

Brook got a fractured eye socket from an headbutt which affected his ability. Of course it made it different.

Brook was showing he was the more skilled fighter until it happened.

Well cong**** to Brook for showing he was the most skilled. I’m sure they’ll put that on his record next to the tko. Lmao. Spence took him to deep waters and drowned him. He battered his face in the 11th and had him holding on for dear life until he made him take a knee like a good boy.

Yep. Took him to deep waters because he knew he was going to quit. Same thing Floyd did with McGregor. Smart boxers know what they are doing.

Yikes more excuses. Brook won’t even fight anyone with a pulse since that beating

Obviously the eye socket was deal breaker for Brook. As someone else mentioned he was not clearly winning up to that point.

Spence beat an injured Brook and injury caused by an headbutt. Not really something to brag about.

Did Carson Jones also headbutt Brook's eye?

[Mister Wolf]

Good catch I never noticed the headbutt.
